This paper provides a critical review of recent studies on strengthening of reinforced
concrete and unreinforced masonry (URM) structures by fiber reinforced polymers (FRP) …

Details of an experimental program investigating the structural performance of unreinforced
masonry (URM) walls strengthened using two different types of polymer textile reinforced …

In the paper, the results of an experimental and numerical study on the out-of-plane bending
effectiveness of a modern strengthening technique applied to existing masonry walls are …

The research work herein presented is aimed at investigating the structural behavior of
stone masonry walls reinforced through different strengthening techniques. In particular, the …

In this paper the capacity of an innovative composite basalt grid with inorganic matrix
(FRCM) has been evaluated both in terms of repairing pre-damaged and strengthening clay …

Masonry walls are susceptible to out-of-plane failures during seismic events. Therefore, this
study investigated the out-of-plane flexural behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) …

The assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls often involves experimental
characterisation of their in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) failure. While IP and OOP …

In this study, the effectiveness of Near Surface Mounted (NSM) method, for in-plane shear
strengthening of traditional and historical Unreinforced Masonry (URM) walls, is investigated …

Abstract The use of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) shotcrete and near surface
mounted steel reinforcing bars as a seismic strengthening intervention for unreinforced …

This paper studies the results of compression diagonal tests conducted on a series of
retrofitted and non-retrofitted small-scale masonry walls (which are also known as wallettes) …
